On Friday at the combine, General Manager Ozzie Newsome said the Ravens were planning to release players to free up salary and enable them to sign desired free agents.

Carr started all 16 games in 2010 after Baltimore sustained injuries to starters Foxworth and had Lardarius Webb returning from knee surgery.

As a result, he signed a reported four-year deal last offseason. At the time, Head Coach John Harbaugh said he was making “starter money.”

But Carr was no longer a starter last season.

With Webb healthy and playing at a Pro Bowl level, the surprise emergence of Cary Williams and first-round cornerback Jimmy Smith coming on, Carr started just one game last season.

He played in only nine games as he struggled with a hamstring injury at various points of the season. After making 61 tackles and intercepting two passes in 2010, Carr had 16 tackles and no picks last year.

The Carroll County Times’ Aaron Wilson said Carr was due a $2.5 million base salary and carried $3.45 million salary into next season.

Immediately after the season ended, Carr saw that his future might not be in Baltimore.

“I might be here, might not be here,” he said. “Just have to wait and see.

“I was injured a lot this year and we have a lot of young guys who can play and play well. You just don’t know what the future is exactly.”

Carr, 28, has long believed he is worthy of being an NFL starter, and if the report is confirmed, he would be allowed to pursue that elsewhere.
